“Friendship is love as much as any romance. And like any love, it’s difficult and treacherous and confusing.” 
“It’s a total lie to say there’s only one person you’re going to be with for the rest of your life. If you’re lucky - and if you try really hard - there will always be more than one. “
“Just because a person is beautiful doesn’t mean there’s no soul beneath. Doesn’t mean that person hasn’t suffered like everyone else, doesn’t mean they don’t hope to still be a good human being in an awful world.” 
“Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together” 
“No. No no no no. It is not easy. Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not.” 
“The complexity embedded in the different levels of meaning that go along with the words “I love you” ought to be a whole mindfuck of a video game”

‎”Nobody really knows her 
Except the chosen few 
Her secrets are kept hidden 
Behind that sun-kissed hue. 

If I reach out to touch her 
She’ll just run away 
My Forever and Always 
Will have to wait another day.”

-Chain reaction,  Simone Elkeles

“Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid or making friends.
In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life as well.
It’s about getting up, getting well and getting over. Getting happy, okay, getting happy!”.


“When you write from the heart, you do not only light the dark path of your readers, you light your own path as well.”

-Stephen King
